“So you need to make a plan for when money comes in. So your paychecks, if you get a bonus, your tax return, if you are getting, a settlement, insurance money, if you're selling something big, like you know all the things where you have like a chunk of extra money coming in, you need to do a budget for it because if you don't, you'll end up spending the money on something you didn't intend for it to go to, right? And that's just what happens. And so when we're intentional with where we want our money to go, that's when things start to come together. That's when you start to pay off debt and you actually start to save money, right? Your money ends up going where you want it to go when you make a plan for it, that's realistic and that you can actually stick to.”
